Events
SAA and the IUPUC Alumni Association join forces to host a number of events throughout the year. They run the gamut from blood drives and donor challenges between Indiana University and Purdue University to trips to the statehouse, participation in the annual Honors Convocation, and "mocktail" cocktail receptions to learn the art of social networking with alumni and local business leaders.
We're still in the planning stages for SAA events that will be held beginning this fall. If you have an idea or suggestion for an SAA event, please e-mail cfelsten@iupuc.edu.
